By staying with a friendly German speaking host family in Germany, you, your child, teenager or family group can eat, sleep and breathe the German language and culture as part of a total language immersion. Staying with a German host family offers a relaxed, fun, yet intensive approach to language learning. Your child might be preparing for a German exam. Or perhaps you’d like to feed a personal passion to improve your German. Staying with a German host family offers great value for money. There are no fees to pay to a middleman, so it’s cheaper than a language school or an agency. It’s an effective way to learn because you live with your host family, practising German all day and avoiding the temptation to speak to other students in your native language.
Your German hosts provide a welcoming environment, support your learning, and offer an authentic window into their culture. And to help you make the most of your stay, you communicate with your host family before you book, getting to know them and their interests.
Speaking German every day is the best way to learn it. By choosing the right Lingoo partner in Germany for you or your children, you can make sure that the interaction is not only useful, but fun and natural as well. Lingoo gives you the choice to hone your search so you can filter your selection by interests, religion, diet and location.
